Cosmetic (also known as aesthetic) surgery is experiencing high popularity and it is important for you to do your homework when considering any surgery. One of the most important questions a patient should ask is “What are the surgeon’s qualifications?” It is also important that your doctor is affiliated with a hospital.

How can we use fat from one area of the body to enhance another area? Fat transfer (fat transplantation, fat injection or fat grafting) is a medical procedure that uses the patient’s own fat tissue from their thigh, lower stomach or inner knee to increase the volume of fat in the subcutaneous area of the body. Uses continue to develop but some of the most current applications include injection of fat into the breast for augmentation or after breast cancer surgery, cheek and chin augmentation, wrinkles next to the mouth (marionette lines) and the hollow areas under the eyes.

In most applications, the fat is injected down through the skin and into subcutaneous tissue and sometimes muscle to provide a better chance for the fat cells to find a nearby blood supply and survive. Some of the fat does not survive, so typically a surplus amount of fat is injected. Fat transfer provides excellent results, and it is readily available! If you don’t want to use synthetic fillers, fat grafting would be an excellent option for you.

Women aren’t the only ones having cosmetic procedures – in this day and age men are paying close attention to their appearance too.

Gynecomastia is a medical term that comes from the Greek words for women-like breasts. Though this condition is rarely talked about, it’s actually quite common. Gynecomastia affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men. It may affect only one breast or both. For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance, breast-reduction surgery can help. The procedure removes fat and or glandular tissue from the breasts and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is flatter, firmer, and better contoured.

To some it may seem like an excessive procedure, but for he who has been embarrassed at the pool, made fun of in gym class growing up, or spent countless hours worrying on a first date – it is entirely worth it.

Male breast reductions are common because men are becoming more body conscious also like women. Whatever the reason, it is completely understandable that men too want to feel good about their appearance and be secure in their own skin.
